Also, am I the only one who is hoping for a Ratchet figure? Aside from being an awesome character, he's the only one missing from the Autobot Team.

An excellent question. I don't know what's going on with Hasbro lately, but it's almost like we're getting punked.
However, to be fair to them, the economy here is terrible and TFs as a whole just haven't been selling well, if at all. When figures are going on clearance and Wal-Mart drops Human Alliance Soundwave from their site, you can pretty much tell that it's over.
So...that explains DOTM, but what about Prime? 1-4 cases per store and that's it. I rarely see restocks.
This is a cryin' shame, really.

Hasbro doesn't understand the consumers at all anymore. All three movies, they've been re-releasing the same toys over and over again for each movie with only slight differences for each one, on top of that they always produce more than they need to. Parents catch on. I've heard parents say the words "Don't you have that one already?" many times before. Heck when I was a kid I wouldn't have fallen that crap anyway, didn't even care for repaints.
Just saying, it took a long time to get rid of all the ROTF toys, you'd think they'd have expected this to bite them in the ass during an economic crisis.

Actually, the stores themselves don't understand their customers it seems. They order from what Hasbro has to offer, and Hasbro starts producing. When the stores still have stock, they won't order, it's that simple.
And remember, the First Editions are limited to Toys 'R Us and online sellers.

First Editions have active DPCIs in Target's computers.
"TransFormers Prime: Robots In Disguise" will have different UPCs and DPCIs, most likely.
